Sugar is neither wholly evil nor essential to avoid completely. The key lies in understanding where it hides, how it affects your body, and how to make smarter choices. Reducing your intake of added sugars can improve energy, mood, weight management, and overall well-being.

There is some evidence to suggest that high sugar intake can have a negative impact on testosterone levels in men. When a person consumes a high amount of sugar, their body produces insulin to help process the sugar. High levels of insulin can interfere with testosterone production and lead to decreased levels.
